How can we teach harm minimisation when its illegal for people under 18 to drink anyway?
Some people may believe that harm minimisation conflicts with the general ban on underage drinking. This is not the case. There are many situations when people under 18 can and will drink. Addressing these realities does not necessarily put teachers or students in jeopardy of breaking the law. In order to remove concerns about the law, teachers and parents are encouraged to understand it.
